So... I figured it's about time to start a BaT thread because so often we see individuals post a link to a BaT listing that many of us find useful and interesting in the E46 M3 community. Personally, enjoy reading about forum members thoughts regarding unique BaT listings and the current market trends and outlooks for what is in and what is out. I think with one common thread, we will easily be able to reference the E46 M3s we discover on BaT.

Feel free to post new listings from BaT here in this thread to continue the discussion. Thanks for everyone's participation!

...who the hell are YOU.... to think you can start an official thread...!?

Kidding. Glad we’re consolidating; I never tire from drooling over these low mileage specimens, although I’ve been trying to nail down the ‘perfect’ number of miles driven per year to keep the cars limber and spry. That would have been helpful for me when hunting: “for a 2006, you want one with fewer than X miles, but more than X.”

From my experience looking for a Bmw, (or any used car for that matter) the slightly higher mileage cars have better service and documentation. This is my 6th BMW and 3rd E46 m3.

Most enthusiasts will not care for a high mileage example if it checks all their boxes. Collectors, of course, look for those low mileage examples. For most of us, who cares about mileage? Just drive the damn car

Amen. I can't imagine what I'll ever trade my M3 for. Something with a V12, maybe, but at that point you're in such a big and heavy car.

Without going into too many details (I value privacy more than anything in this world): I am an educator in the combat dynamics space -- I develop curriculum that teaches people to be effective fighters with firearms. Lots of fun ;D

Ah you'd fit in well in the DC area. Got a bunch of buddies that execute/write defense policy for the DoD. Very cool
